[Defy General] MrPink52:
I have tried some of the sbf files... and tried this one: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003

that seemed to work, at least I got the logo back and could enter the Android utilities... and it seems like it is booting up blur right now... wow... what a scare.

Don't know if I will try to move to CM7 again anytime soon... I don't know what went wrong since I tried to follow tutorials.

But again thank you for your help.. I will update here again when I know for sure that everything is working
[Defy General] pmp326:
your fine dont let that scare you just wrong file its not the end of the world anyways enjoy!!!

I just did mine last night and at times it was a little scary, being the 1st time I had tried to flash a phone. I followed these directions to a point.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897445 I also used these directions pretty much combined the 2 to get the job done. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

When I got to the point where CM7 RC1v2 was installed along with Google Apps I then rebooted and let it all start and create all the necessary caches. I then flashed the nightly from the sd card.

I did NOT do the 3g stuff mentioned in the instructions, There is an app that will let you set your baseband for your country in the app drawer called Defy Baseband
[Defy General] hackergnome:
Did u reflash cm7 with gapps when u did reset??

I THInk u din thats y u got a bootloop...

Bdw wats the stat is ur phone working n note that u cant downgrade after full sbf flash so...

N yeah if u install cm7 then instal cm via cwm n then install gapps simultaneously at the same time...

Buh bye have a nice flash...
[Defy General] MrPink52:
Sorry I am not entirely sure what you mean.

1) I had CM7 running, then booted into recovery with the recovery application mentioned, wiped the cache and wiped the dalvik cache and then installed google apps zip from the SD Card, when it said successfull I rebooted and got into the boot loop

2) what do you mean by "can't downgrade after full sbf flash" ?

3) "install cm7 then instal cm via cwm n then install gapps simultaneously"

Don't really understand this either, what is "cm" and what is "cwm" (sorry I am not familiar with the terminology). So you mean once CM7 is installed install the gapps right away first without checking if CM7 boots up ok?

Thanks for the advice,

MrPink52
[Defy General] Raoa:
You did not brick your Defy. Wiping caches like you did makes the boot take longer for your phone is rebuilding the cache.

Next time after wiping caches just wait until it boots up. It can take a long time. CM7 takes long to load on Defy on top of this.
[Defy General] MrPink52:
yeah I have a stock sbf I found online put back on my Defy and now (at least on the outside) it's as if I have never touched it... Blur and all.

Maybe I will try CM7 a second time and try and insall the google Apps at the sime time without booting CM7 first....

still don't know where I went wrong though.

And what does it mean that I can't downgrade?

Oh and another question, I found a backup of my original system I med yesterday on my SD Card... it is a bunch of .img files + a md5 checksum... what exactly would I have to do with this to flash it back on my phone? Its not in sbf format... just wondering since the sbf I have on my phone now isn't necessarily the same ROM I had stock... so maybe I should go back to the original?

Thanks a bunch!

These are files for ClockworkMod recovery. Comes with CM7 and you can reflash them with recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoninLA:
I understand the usual problems that the mail in sub folders doesn't sync until you force it but my problem is slightly different and has been baffling me. When I initially started the mail app it set itself up with my inbox and the sub-folders. I create and delete sub-folders as projects come and go but the sub-folders on my incredible stubbornly refuse to ever change to match the new folders I have created on exchange. I can't find anyway of forcing the app to resync the sub folders themselves and really don't want to have to delete and recreate the account everytime I start a new project sub-folder in my exchange mail. I've always been working on windows mobile so android is a relatively new experience for me here. Does anyone know of a solution?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoninLA:
So after much searching and digging I have finally found what the problem is - there is a long discussion at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9017

Upshot seems to be in the type of folder that is created when you create a new folder between different software, e.g. I use Outlook for Mac and when you create new exchange sub-folders they don't replicate to the android device. This seems to be a known bug.

Solution is to go to outlook web access when you need to create new sub-folders and do them there. That instantly replicates to the device on synch.

Anyway, posting the answer to my own question in case it helps someone else out sometime.
[General Questions and Answers] tsunami987:
So. I started a job a while ago... Just so happens that I bought my evo 3d from them just before starting. Now, i'm helping a customer with finding a micro-hdmi cable for his 3vo and turns out, we don't stock it. He comes in next day with, what's this... A motorola photon. I am blown away as i'm told that it has a tegra 2 processor, something i've been wanting as a sprint customer for a while.

Thing is, i'm still in my return window, and I could get a photon, but I have two concerns.

First is superficial, and really my own problem, but it's just weird to go up to my boss and say HEY this phone sucks, switch it out for me!

Second is the more serious part. On every review i've seen, the gaming specs for the Photon blow the 3D out of the water. Have I been happy with my 3vo? Yeah... But the extreme lack of pretty games i'm told are available out on the market, gameloft, etc are disturbing as a phone gamer.

So, I've probably lost everyone by now, but my for question, is the photon really that much better, or if given the right avenues could I find games of equal or greater quality on and/or useable on my 3vo? If so, it's a moot point, as I do love this phone. Otherwise, I really am considering the photon.
[General Questions and Answers] ScandaLeX:
In a word...YES!!! I'm not much of a phone gamer, but overall, IMHO, the MoPho is an outstanding phone. My EVO 4G was/is great...I knew I was going to upgrade to either the EVO 3D or Photon. Evo was released 1st and I couldn't wait to return it....(too many issues for me to even considering contending with). I swapped back to my 4G until Photon and haven't looked back.

This is just my opinion. There are a lot of Evo 3D zealots who'll tell you you're crazy if you don't go with that phone.

I am using the newest radio 2.15.50.14 and my signal sucks i don't know what i had on there the first time before i flashed but now i wish i could go back. Or find a combo that works. I live in illinois in the states just south of chicago. my phone is now android on nand. if you guys have any insight to how to go back or a radio to fix this i will be so thank full thanks xda members for your replys in advance.

Also here is the complete radio I have 15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14 if that helps..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Just try from radio 2.10 .... until 2.14 and see which suits you best.

Also, refer to this thread for the radios : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 and make sure your leo is european, otherwise you have to be careful of what you flash to your tmo; it may brick your device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
every person is going to be a little different depending on where you live. me personally (in maryland) find that radio 2.08 works a little better then the other's. really its just trial and error so hopefully you'll find one that works for you.

[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 2653512:
I received a few PMs regarding a screenshot of my homescreen I posted as well as 'how to install a new rom'. So I thought I would give a quick rundown with links so I can answer everyone at the same time.

The key to success is WIPE WIPE WIPE! Here's what I do. I've never had an issue.

1. Download and install Android SDK here. (keep dir simple. install to C:\android)

2. Achieve S-off, ClockWork Recovery, Root, and SuperCID here.

3. Download Revolution HD 1.1.5 here.

4. Download Super Wipe here.

5. Download No-Sense Script here.

6. Place all three files on the root of your sdcard.

7. Reboot into recovery: a. wipe data/factory reset, b. wipe cache partition, c. wipe dalvik cache, d. wipe battery stats

8. Still in recovery: a. install zip from sdcard, b. select 'Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation'

9. Still in recovery: a. install zip from sdcard, b. select 'Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_1.1.5'

10. Still in recovery: a. wipe cache partition, b. wipe dalvik cache

11. Still in recovery: a. install zip from sdcard, b. select 'Android_Revolution_HD_no-sense_0.16'

12. Still in recovery: a. wipe cache partition, b. wipe dalvik cache

13. Reboot into android. Let phone sit for 15 minutes. Do not touch it or install any apps.

14. Reboot into recovery: a. wipe cache partition, b. wipe dalvik cache (to fix market issue)

15. Reboot into android.

16. Install these apps from Market: 'ADWLauncher EX', 'SiMi Clock Pro', 'Circle Battery Widget', & lastly 'AndroidPhone7'

17. Enjoy the layout. I think it's pretty clean. :)

Also, let me take this opportunity to thank all the devs on this site. Without them our mobile devices would suck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
here is an init.d script to optimize your ext4 partitions

thanks to crackpot for the original script, all i did was change the values to optimize performance

this has been tested and does improve performance :D

go inside tar and extract s99 file put into init.d folder /system/etc/init.d
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
the barriers were prob removed to the fact of such little actuall memory on the system and cache partition or they may be looking at shortning the sgs4g cache partition size and when they keis the gingerbread forgot to add the barrier back in. Also note when you barrier the cache you also run the risk of locking downloads to a set size hince why some had issues on frayo with download sizes larger then 30 mb in size also why u dont see that in gb or if you adb shell in frayo

/unmount cache

rmdir cache

mdir cache

then ln the 2 caache files back which removes the limit :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Must we ADB this, or can we do this via terminal as well?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Wow! Finally broke 3000!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Do we need to do this every (re)boot, or just once?

Thanks, amazing as always dsexton!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
It will, but you will have to input out each time you reboot. Also...if you do use terminal to do it, you may need to put the commands in a note pad and copy /paste it. (holds down on the screen to get the paste function) it kept changing barriers to barrIers which is not valid :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
there's an app called script manager, its free. just create new script, place code, save, set to root and to run at boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
ADB it is then! :)

I am using KG6 w/ cwm/voodoo/KG4 kernel with lag fix enabled. I'm overclocked@ 1.44ghz.

the battery is from

A UOT theme I am working on.

As for script manager, install from market.

Open app and create new script from menu.

Call it what ever you want. Hit ok.

Menu will open asking what to open file with, choose text editor.

Paste this code

mount -o remount,barrier=1 /system /system
mount -o remount,barrier=1 /cache /cache

Hit menu > close > yes to save

Using the programs built in file browser, locate the script, select it.

Check run as root and run at boot. Hit save.

Either run the script after that or reboot.

Run mount command in terminal and check your mounts.

should see barrier=1 on system, cache, and data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Thank you sir very helpful

sent from my Real Gs move in silence like lasagna
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Just a note. You have to decide yourself what you want to achieve in the end: better performance or better data integrity. Enabling barriers (setting barrier=1) reorders journaling in a way so that all data blocks are guaranteed to be written before committing, but it degrades the performance because the system have to wait until writes are done in certain sequence. Data integrity is better as there is less change for the transaction to complete improperly in case the system crashes (like when journal data is written but actual data is not.) On phones the chance of screwing up transactions is quite low, just don't ever remove the battery without shutting down the phone properly.

Quote from mount docs: "...Write barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering of journal commits, making volatile disk write caches safe to use, at some performance penalty. If your disks are battery-backed in one way or another, disabling barriers may safely improve performance. ..."

Some more readings here for example: lwn.net/Articles/283161/

The way to remount ext4 partitions for best performance should be this:

mount -o remount,noatime,delalloc,noauto_da_alloc,barrier=0

If you want more data safety then enable barriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
I've modified my init.d script to use these settings, for comparative purposes. Anyone is welcome to try it, assuming your ROM has init.d.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
wont work on gb right now because the kernel still doesnt support init.d at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
That's odd, it seems to load the mount settings.

Here's output from "mount" via ADB's shell.

/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc
0 0
/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc
0 0
/dev/block/stl10 /data ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0
0
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
it did nothing for me, my mount settings were exactly the same upon every reboot :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Disabled my script and added above script to init.d. Rebooted and checked mounts and it worked. All barrier set to 0.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
lol the whole point of this thread was to make all your barriers to 1 not 0
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
I understand that. I also like testing things for myself and trying both ways and seeing what works best for me. Because of this, I now know init.d scripts work. Others may want to edit his script to set barrier to 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Yeah I was just testing the performance of barriers enabled and disabled, to see which one to go with.

Not sure about the init.d thing, I'm running the ROM you released with the init.d modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea i wonder why my init.d scripts arent working, maybe i need change the permissions

what are your permissions for the scripts inside your init.d folder
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
They are rwxrwxrwx, guess thats 0777.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
ROFL LMAO!!! im not sure how i missed this but my init.d folder was in /system instead of /system/etc

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You guys should also turn on delalloc in your scripts! It's one of the best features of ext4 and we're not even using it.

https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index....lloc.29.3F_What_are_its_advantages_in_Ext4.3F

Here's a script you can throw into init.d

# Remount all partitions with noatime, delalloc and barrier=1
for k in $(busybox mount | grep -E 'relatime|nodelalloc|ext4' | cut -d " " -f3) ; do
